Fame: If you've ever seen a carton of milk or apple cider, if it's safe it should say on the label, "Pasteurized." Which means, it went through the process of being heated to a boil of which destroyed any harmful germs. If you observe the word pasteurized, it looks, is spelled, and sounds similar to Louis' Last name. The cause of this similarity is because Louis himself invented the process and it is probably his most famous discovery. He also created many vaccines to cure illnesses and Pasteur founded micobiolgy also. ( the spread of illnesses, thier germs, and how they effect humans) Did you know he even discovered that the harmful chemial called, "accid" was not just one of itself, but few accids combined.
